Abstract: A method and system for machining a cylinder head
include loading a cylinder head into a first five axis
computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine. A first
fixture of the first CNC machine is then located against a
top surface of the cylinder head such that the cylinder head
is in a horizontal position. The first CNC machine then
machines the cylinder head in the horizontal position. A
second fixture of the first CNC machine is then located
against a bottom surface of the cylinder head such that the
cylinder head is in a vertical position. The first CNC
machine then machines the cylinder head in the vertical
position. The cylinder head is then moved into a second
five axis CNC machine. A fixture of the second CNC machine
is then located against a bottom surface of the cylinder
head. The second CNC machine then machines the cylinder

Abstract: An optical network has an optical splitter connected to (1) a working optical
subscriber unit (OSU) of a working circuit, (2) a protection OSU of a protection
circuit, and (3) one or more optical network terminals (ONTs), where an ONT has (i) a
working line termination (LT) unit of the working circuit and connected to the optical
splitter via a working optical fiber and (ii) a protection LT unit of the protection circuit
and connected to the optical splitter via a protection optical fiber. The present
invention enables fast protection switching from the working circuit to the protection
circuit. The arrival times of corresponding downstream cells are measured at both the
working and protection LT units of the ONT, and information related to the arrival
times is transmitted from the ONT to the protection OSU. A propagation delay value
is generated based on the transmitted information for use by the protection OSU for
communications with the ONT if and when protection switching is implemented upon
detection of a failure in the working circuit.

IPC: H04N1/60

Abstract: Conventional obstacles to entry and survival of small
graphic-arts service providers are softened ― particularly
for those businesses that operate as computerized "ASP"
enterprises (21-25) involving wide-area networks ― by
encouraging small operators to coexist effectively in use
of a pivotal network-based service. One key mechanism
promoting this capability is a system of optionally mutual
links (Figs. 13-15; lower half of Figs. 2, 7, 12 and 16-27)
between the pivotal service (11) and the ASPs. The
service also counteracts a tendency in the industry to
favor wastefully redundant vertical integration. On the
other hand, the system also implements the prerogatives of
an enterprise (such as a printing-broker ASP, 24) that has
an established customer, to closely channel the attention
of that customer ― but subject, importantly, to being
overruled by the customer. Ideally the system is
carefully tuned to enable such customer action without
unduly pressing the option upon the customer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for converting data packets by coding or compression (P), source data packets (11-15) being converted into transmission data packets (21-23). In order to achieve an optimal degree of filling of the transmission data packets, a data field of a transmission data packet (e.g. 21) according to the invention comprises only data of one logical channel (e.g. A). To this end, the converted data of the logical channels (A, B, ...) are separately buffered in preferably parallel buffers. Reconstruction information is not incorporated in the data fields of the transmission data packets but, if necessary, is transmitted in advance. The invention is applied, in particular, in X.25 networks. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for issuing, receiving, authenticating and using an
e-coupon uses a hand-held consumer terminal, such as a cellular
phone. A user (consumer) finds an e-coupon issue center (200) by
reading an ID with an opto-electrical transducer (101) associated
with the consumer terminal (100). A keyboard can also enter the
information. The cellular phone communicates with the issue
center directly from the ID or through an ID resolution center
(400)(or manufacturer) to request issuance of the e-coupon ID.
The issue center after checking the ID, issues and transmits the
e-coupon ID to the consumer terminal. The consumer uses the e-coupon
ID and his own ID at a retailer (300) which accesses the
issue center to determine the validity of the e-coupon. The user
can receive and use an e-coupon while keeping personal information
private by using an anonymous proxy server.

Abstract: A method of forming a pseudo-SOI device having elevated source/drain (S/D) regions that can be extended for use as local interconnect is described. Shallow trench isolation (STI) regions separating adjacent active regions are provided within a semiconductor substrate. Polysilicon gate electrodes and associated S/D extensions are fabricated in and on the substrate in the active regions wherein a hard mask layer overlies each of the gate electrodes. Dielectric spacers are formed on sidewalls of each of the gate electrodes. A polysilicon layer is deposited overlying the gate electrodes and the substrate. The polysilicon layer is polished back with a polish stop at the hard mask layer. The polysilicon layer is etched back whereby the polysilicon layer is recessed with respect to the gate electrodes. Thereafter, the polysilicon layer is etched away overlying the STI regions where a separation between adjacent active areas is desired. If a local interconnect is desired between adjacent active areas, the polysilicon layer is not etched away overlying the STI region separating those active areas. The hard mask layer is removed. Ions are implanted and driven in to form elevated S/D regions within the polysilicon layer adjacent to the gate electrodes to complete formation of transistors having elevated S/D regions.

Abstract: X-ray generators that produce X-ray radiation from a plasma and that exhibit reduced heating of certain components caused by proximity to the plasma. An embodiment of such an X-ray generator is encased in a vacuum chamber that exhibits reduced reflection and scattering of electromagnetic radiation from the inner walls thereof to components contained in the chamber. Since less reflected radiation reaches the components, the components experience less temperature increase during use.
